It's officially 2025, and nonprofits across the country are diligently preparing for upcoming legislative sessions, a presidential transition, and other critical advocacy initiatives. The Alliance for Justice Bolder Advocacy team is here to help when questions arise about nonprofits' ability to engage with government officials and pursue policy change. In the meantime, we've also compiled a list of our Top 10 nonprofit New Year's resolutions to help your organization ready itself for 2025 and beyond.    Attorneys for this Episode  Monika Graham  Victor Rivera Labiosa  Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort     Level-up Your Social Justice Advocacy  Check out our new Advocacy Playbook series for an overview of the laws and regulations that apply to 501(c)(3) public charities when they engage in lobbying and election season advocacy.   Resources designed specifically for advocates working in key issue areas:  Environmental Justice  Criminal Legal Reform  Gender and Reproductive Justice  Labor and Economic Justice  LGBTQ+ and HIV Communities  Health and Disability Rights  Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights  Democracy and Voting Rights    Conduct an Advocacy Check-up  Our new Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment is designed to help your 501(c)(3) public charity assess its overall compliance with federal and state advocacy-related tracking and reporting requirements and to identify opportunities for you to build your organization's advocacy capacity.   The goal is to ensure that your nonprofit is aware of the opportunities for advocacy allowed by the tax and election laws that govern lobbying and election-related activity by tax-exempt organizations.    Brush-Up on State Law with Bolder Advocacy's Practical Guidance Series  Lobbying: Working to impact legislative or executive branch policy at the state-level? State lobbying disclosure rules may apply to your work.  Be aware of changes to the law that might have taken effect in the new calendar year.  Voter Assistance: Do you know what it means for your 501(c)(3) to remain nonpartisan, but also want to learn about state rules related to voter engagement activities?  Take the time to learn how to safely register voters, engage in line-warming activities, and more.    Take Stock of Your Nonprofit's Capacity to Evaluate Your Advocacy  Consider the data you already collect.  Track media and policy developments related to your work.  Make use of free tools and resources:   User's Guide to Advocacy Evaluation Planning  Data Playbook  When the Best Offense is a Good Defense: Understanding and Measuring Advocacy on the Defense    Amplify Your Impact with Text and Robocall Campaigns  Using text messaging or call campaigns to interact with your community and supporters?

Your organization can help ensure the appointment of individuals whose values align with your mission and the needs of the communities you serve.  Keep in mind that advocating for or against nominees that require a legislative body to confirm the nomination is generally considered lobbying. On the other hand, making recommendations for positions that do not require legislative approval is not lobbying for tax code purposes.    Be Prepared to Defend Your Nonprofit and Its Work  Ensure that your legal house is in order by conducting an advocacy check-up (see Resolution #2).  Prepare and train your staff and volunteers in how to respond to potential threats that may arise in-person and through social media.  Assess your online systems for potential gaps in cyber security.  Check out our factsheet: Tips for Nonprofits: Preparing for the Possibility of a Politically Motivated Attack    Educate the Public about the Legislative Process. Introduce communities and  constituencies to the legislators who represent them. When community members  meet legislators face-to-face and discuss the issues that affect their everyday lives, not only do legislators receive the information they need to represent their communities, but those communities are empowered to invest more heavily in the outcomes of policy debates, giving them a stronger hand in their own future.  Conduct research and produce relevant resources that reflect the real story of your community and its needs.  Educate the community on the issues that matter most to your organization.  Host educational conference where people can gather, network, share information, and plan for the future.  Conduct leadership training to provide individuals with the skills needed to be spokespersons for potential policy reform.     Work Together. Join forces with other nonprofit organizations to maximize advocacy, share resources, and harness power in order to more effectively drive real and lasting policy change.  (Podcast) Working Together: Affiliation and Coalition Basics  (Guide) Coalition Checklist  (Guide) The Connection: Strategies for Creating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations    Become an AFJ Member  The strength of Alliance for Justice is rooted in our membership of nearly 140 organizations that share a commitment to an equitable, just, and free society.   Throughout the 40+ years of AFJ's history, our members have been at the forefront of defending our communities' constitutional rights and building power across the progressive movement to fight for social justice.  Benefits include:  Priority access to Bolder Advocacy resources and special members-only training events  Free public webinar and on-demand webinar registration  Cutting edge research on judicial nominees  And more!

Hey everyone, just wrapped up a super engaging chat with James about the ins and outs of the design world. We dove deep into topics like why keeping secrets about pay isn't cool, how the design scene's been changing, the real headache of figuring out what to charge for your work, and the big question mark that is AI and tech shaking things up. James shared some real talk about the importance of sharing the wealth (of knowledge, that is) and staying nimble in this fast-paced industry. No More Secret Handshakes: James really isn't into the whole "hush-hush" vibe around how much designers are getting paid. It's all about lifting the curtain and getting real with each other to help everyone grow. The Times Are A-Changin': Reflecting on his own journey, James pointed out that even though there's a sea of designers out there, making it past the first few years is tougher than it looks. His advice? Keep your eyes peeled and be ready to adapt. The Pricing Puzzle: Oh boy, did we get into the nitty-gritty of pricing. James opened up about his own battles and called for a heart-to-heart within the community on how to tackle this beast. Tech and AI – Friend or Foe?: With AI and new tech on the rise, James urges us not to hit the panic button but to think about how these tools can actually give our creativity a boost. Knowledge is Power, So Share It: James is big on the idea that we've all got something to learn and something to teach. Sharing your stories and skills not only helps you but lifts up those around you too. Roll with the Punches and Keep It Real: The design game is always changing, and the best way to stay in play is to keep learning, sharing, and being genuine with each other. Whether it's a new design trend or a tech breakthrough, let's tackle it together. Brush Up on Those Skills: Not just your design skills, but get savvy with the business side of things and stay curious about the latest tech. It's all about being well-rounded and ready for whatever comes your way. Let's Talk Money: Inspired by James's openness, why not start a convo with your design buddies about pricing? It's all about finding that sweet spot where you feel good about your rates and your clients do too. Tech's Not So Scary: Instead of fearing the AI takeover, why not explore how it can make your work even cooler? There's a whole world of tools out there waiting to amp up your creative process. Give Back to the Gang: Got a story to tell or some wisdom to share? There's always someone out there who could benefit from your experience. Whether it's through a blog post, a workshop, or just a coffee catch-up, your insights could light someone else's way. So, let's keep the conversation going, share those tips and tricks, and build a design community that's all about growth, creativity, and a little bit of tech magic. Can't wait to see what we all come up with next!

Instead, the duo tackles the important topic of boundaries and our tendency to struggle with saying one very important word: no. Melissa's green, yellow, and red light framework for boundaries provides an easy guide to both sharing our boundaries with others and easing our anxiety and dread during difficult conversations. This episode is a must-listen before the holiday season! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
